Not having anything sweet all day but being too busy to remember that I had not had anything sweet all day.

Surprise! You have a new student BUT she is sweet. And, it gets me back to an even number. The few weeks I had 13 kids drove me crazy! I am way more content with 14. And how perfect that I have 7 boys and 7 girls.

Only having 14 students.

When I gave up a whole day of my Christmas break to plan and prep lessons it was worth it today to be organized and well prepared for the whole week.

Nobody spilled anything in the cafeteria today.

My mom made and brought me homemade chicken noodle soup for lunch.

Working five miles from home means I could run home during my planning period and print a few things that were on my home computer.

Prepped tonight’s dinner yesterday so it is in the fridge just waiting to be cooked later.

None of my kids are coughing, sneezing or have runny noses.

None of my kids had lice during head checks this morning.

Coming straight home from school, changing clothes, and getting cozy with a book.

I survived and I hope your first day back from Winter/Christmas break was a good day too!
